I guess it was raining which would do anyone in unless a much younger audience, well oiled up, and different music.

2000-5000 baht to sit in the rain and listen to the same music that you can hear on a cd or youtube. I guess some people like to suffer.

The name of the event should be the Hua Hin Pop Music Festival.

Well to be fair to the event organizers there was no rain between about 1530-2130 Saturday night. Regarding sponsors and as far as I have heard, everything was paid for by TAT. True Arena and the brought in labor had no expenses at the event either before or after the concert and with that we will probably never know how much an incredibly good musician like Kerry G. :thumb: and his team was paid. Btw, he was on the scene almost all night.

I doubt whether he'd be there for peanuts. He has a net worth of $200 million.

"good" is relative.

Whatever he was paid, out of that amount he had to pay the musicians, instrument and sound equipment rental, sound and lighting crew, local setup crew, transportation, hotel rooms, per diem, booking agents, domestic and foreign & management fees, advertising, and income tax.

Whether he is worth it depends on whether you're a listener or seeking to make a profit.
